RE: Playing 24/96 and 24/192 FLAC files. What to use?

Posted by Daverz on May 2, 2020 at 15:32:55:
Is your profile system up to date? It says:

"Notebook PC playing 24/96 FLAC files through Schiit Modi 2 DAC."

So I assume you want to get away from having the notebook tethered to the DAC.

My preferred solution would be a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4G RAM running piCoreplayer. Install LMS on piCoreplayer and attach your USB storage. Also connect the Modi 2 to the RPi 4 via USB. You can then control playback on the notebook or smartphone using the Material Skin plugin for LMS.

An RPi4 4GB starter kit with everything you need will be under $100 with shipping.
